That you may no longer live but my Son may live in you…

(c)Mateo Ivankovic 2018

Dear Family of Mary!

“Dear children! Through the great love of the Heavenly Father I am beside you as your mother and you are beside me as my children, as apostles of my love whom I ceaselessly gather around me…” (April 2, 2018)

Our Lady has mentioned many times before that it is the Heavenly Father who has sent her to be with us. It is His desire that we take Mary as our Mother in these days. He sends her to us! He wants us to take great comfort in her presence and to stay beside her. He knows that we are living in a very difficult time, a time of great stress in the world. And so, he allows our Mother to remain among us for this long a time!

“My children, you are those who, along with prayer, need to completely surrender to my Son so that you may no longer live but my Son may live in you – so that all those who do not know my Son may see Him in you and come to desire to know Him…” (April 2, 2018)

Mother Mary speaks very clearly to us, as we stay beside her. She tells us straight out that we must completely surrender to Jesus. No more halfhearted surrendering. No more holding on to a little bit of our own way, our own desire, our own projects. There is no more time for that. We cannot be divided in our hearts any more.

We must see ourselves like St. Paul saw himself after his conversion. He encountered Jesus, was struck blind, then healed, baptized and given a mission. His mission was to tell the whole world about Jesus. And he did it! Imagine if St. Paul had responded to this great call by saying, “Ok, Jesus, I will spread the word, but I still need to do part time work at the Sanhedrin. They won’t be able to function without me…” Ha, ha!! St. Paul instead, dropped every cause, every function, every desire he ever had. He dropped them all. And he became a great Apostle, taking Jesus everywhere, even to Rome. He described his change this way:

“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” (Gal 2:20)

St. Paul said that he died with Christ, that he was crucified with Jesus. How? His old life was over and was buried with Jesus, completely gone. The life he was living after that was Jesus’ life. It was a life completely surrendered to Jesus, so that St. Paul could only do what Jesus was doing in Him. He was surrendered to Jesus so completely that all those who did not know Jesus would see Jesus in St. Paul and come to desire to know Him. St. Paul lived the will of God, not his own will. He was dead to his own will, but alive to Jesus’ will. He was alive only to the extent he was doing God’s will.

This surrender can sound very harsh and unappealing. But wait, isn’t the life of Jesus heaven? Isn’t the life of Jesus full of light and peace? Isn’t the life of Jesus joy, and love, and hope? To have Jesus live within us is to have heaven within us. God’s will is heaven! So even if we are suffering on this earth, the inner life we will have will be worth it all. To surrender to Jesus is to surrender to life!

So, maybe we can actually do what Our Lady is asking of us. Maybe we can actually say, “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”

Surrender!!

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Our Lady Speaks

Vicka's Note MaryTV

Vicka, one of the visionaries in Medjugorje, wrote the note (above) after Our Lady spoke with her during an apparition in Medjugorje in April, 1999, about Mary TV’s  plan to build a television facility in Medjugorje.

Vicka wrote to Denis: “Our Lady says that the plan is good – but you need to wait a little.  Now you can get prepared little by little, until Our Lady tells when the right moment is.  You don’t need to hurry, make haste, but to be patient.”

When Our Lady said this to Vicka, the technical genius in Medjugorje that she had her eyes upon, who would begin Mary TV’s live streaming from Medjugorje, was seven years old.

Totus Tuus (Totally Yours)

Immaculate Conception, Mary my Mother, Live in me, Act in me, Speak in me and through me, Think your thoughts in my mind, Love through my heart, Give me your dispositions and feelings, Teach, lead me and guide me to Jesus, Correct, enlighten and expand my thoughts and behavior, Possess my soul, Take over my entire personality and life, replace it with Yourself, Incline me to constant adoration, Pray in me and through me, Let me live in you and keep me in this union always.

Our Lady gave this prayer 25 years before She started appearing in Medjugorje. This prayer is being answered through Our Lady’s presence in Medjugorje and through Her messages. Mother Immaculata writes: “This is Mary’s hour and She is about to crush Satan’s head. Her very being is like incandescent heat in the center of the Trinity and the manifestation of Her power is growing daily. The Immaculate Conception prayer (which is what Our Lady called the prayer she gave me for union with Her) has been used by exorcists who have told me that the devil reacts violently to it and is subdued by it. We are praying daily for the success of Mary TV!“

Our Lady Gives A Sign…

Mary_with_Sun

MARY TV was LIVE STREAMING Ivan’s May 24, 2013 apparition on Mt. Podbrdo (Apparition Hill) in Medjugorje. My wife, Cathy, was praying in front of her computer in the US, connected through the Internet, welcoming Our Lady along with everyone gathered on the mountain. She couldn’t see anything on her computer screen because it was late at night and Ivan had said, “No lights.” She found herself asking Our Lady for a sign – a little light – as a sign that MARY TV was on the right track and really serving her. Just after the apparition, when she went to give an account on Mary TV’s Facebook page, the page opened with this picture that she had never seen before, captioned: “MARY APPEARS OVER BUILDING IN MEDJUGORJE, PHOTO TAKEN BY PILGRIM.” Our Lady is standing directly over MARY TV’s studios, her feet right where we have two POV cameras STREAMING 24/7 LIVE TO THE WORLD Apparition Hill & Cross Mountain!

ASK JESUS IF HE’D LIKE YOU TO START SENDING A MONTHLY DONATION TO MARY TV.
TO CONTINUE SAILING WITH OUR LADY UPON THE DIGITAL SEA THIS BOAT NEEDS FINANCIAL HELP.

Our Lady spoke to Vicka during an apparition in Medjugorje in April, 1999, about the importance of Mary TV’s mission. At that time she told Vicka that she herself (Our Lady) would begin Mary TV! She did! But she didn’t do it alone. The generosity of her children made Mary TV a reality for her. Your generosity is needed now for it to continue!
